INDEPENDENCE OF BAHIA
The holiday celebrated in Bahia marks events that took place in the early hours of July 2, 1823, when the city of Salvador dawned almost deserted, as the Portuguese army had definitively left the then province of Bahia. It was the official end of the 17-month war (from February 1822 to July 1823) between troops from Portugal and Brazil. This Brazilian victory consolidated the political separation of Brazil from Portugal.
The anniversary has a lot of meaning for Bahians and is usually celebrated in Salvador with a parade in the historic center of the state capital.
